PMax needs a strong asset mixPMax needs a strong asset mix
Performance Max is not only a campaign setting. For Google to assemble ads across placements, the asset group needs clear roles: product proof, brand signal, video, image, headline direction, offer detail, and continuity with feed or landing page. Gateway builds PMax creatives as a usable asset set for testing and refresh, not as one polished image pretending to solve everything.
